International Standards Authority is an ANAB-accredited third-party certification body that issues and audits quality management system certifications, primarily ISO 9001 for general organizations and AS9100/AS9120 for aerospace manufacturers and parts distributors. Engagements are delivered as recurring certification cycles with periodic on-site audits and recertification, with client documentation and status managed through the QStar Client Portal.

Product overview

Following acquisition by Amtivo Group in March 2025, these certification services have been integrated into Amtivo's broader portfolio of ISO and industry-specific certifications, with former ISA clients transitioned to the QStar Client Portal (qstar.isaregistrar.com).
